the devil, also referred to as satan, is best known as the personification of evil and the nemesis of good people everywhere. the devil has been called many different names in various cultures: Beelzebub, Lucifer, Satan and Mephistopheles, to name a few, with various physical descriptions including horns and hooved feet.
fear of the devil is at least partially responsible for the witchcraft hysteria of Europe and New England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. protestants and catholics accused many people of practicing witchcraft and making deals with the devil.
the Puritans living in New England’s early colonies were petrified of the devil. they believed he gave powers to witches to those faithful to him. this fear gave rise to the infamous Salem Witch Trials in Salem, Massachusetts.
